Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event has become a highly anticipated program for parents and caregivers looking to safely dispose of old car seats while saving on new ones. This eco-friendly initiative typically occurs twice a year, with one event in the spring and another in the fall.
During the event, customers can bring old, expired, or damaged car seats to participating Target stores. In exchange, they receive a 20% off coupon for a new car seat, stroller, or select baby gear. This coupon can be used in-store or online, providing flexibility for families.
The spring event usually takes place in April, coinciding with Earth Month, emphasizing the program’s commitment to sustainability. Exact dates vary by year, so it’s advisable to check Target’s website or local stores for the most current information.
All types of car seats are accepted, including infant seats, convertible seats, car seat bases, harness or booster car seats, and even car seats that are expired or damaged. The old car seats are recycled by Target’s partner, Waste Management, ensuring that these items don’t end up in landfills.
This program not only helps families save money but also promotes child safety by encouraging the use of up-to-date car seats. It’s an excellent opportunity for parents to upgrade their child’s car seat as they grow or to replace seats that have reached their expiration date.
Since its inception in 2016, Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event has been hugely successful, recycling hundreds of thousands of car seats and providing substantial savings to families across the United States.
